The role of Arid4b in mESC lineage commitment (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Distinct cell types emerge from embryonic stem cells through a precise and coordinated execution of gene expression programs during lineage commitment. This is established by the action of lineage specific transcription factors along with chromatin complexes. Numerous studies focused on epigenetic factors that affect ESC self-renewal and pluripotency. However, the contribution of chromatin to lineage decisions at the exit from pluripotency has not been studied extensively. We have set out to identify chromatin related factors critical for differentiation towards mesodermal and endodermal lineages. Our results reveal a critical role for chromatin protein, Arid4b. Arid4b deficient mESCs are similar to wild-type mESCs in the expression of pluripotency factors and their self-renewal. However, we found that Arid4b loss results in defects in upregulation of meso/endodermal gene expression program. Arid4b is in the Sin3a complex along with Hdac1 and Hdac2. We identified a physical and functional interaction of Arid4b with Hdac1 rather than Hdac2. Arid4b deficiency leads to changes in the overall chromatin environment. Most notably, a subset of the genomic loci was found to gain H3K27Ac whereas several of the key developmental genes instead have increased H3K27me3 levels. Accordingly, the super-enhancers associated with meso/endoderm commitment were selectively reduced in arid4b∆ cells.

USP7 represses lineage differentiation genes in mouse embryonic stem cells by both catalytic and non-catalytic activity

Project description:USP7, a ubiquitin-specific peptidase (USP), plays an important role in many cellular processes through its catalytic deubiquitination of various substrates. However, its nuclear function to shape the transcriptional network in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) remains poorly understood. Here, we report that USP7 maintains mESCs identity through both catalytic activity-dependent and -independent repression of lineage differentiation genes. Usp7 depletion attenuates SOX2 level and derepresses lineage differentiation genes thereby compromising mESCs pluripotency. Mechanistically, USP7 deubiquitinates and stabilizes SOX2 to repress mesoendodermal (ME) lineage genes. Moreover, USP7 assembles into RYBP-variant Polycomb repressive complex 1 and contributes to Polycomb chromatin-mediated repression of ME lineage genes in a catalytic activity-dependent manner. Importantly, USP7 deficient in its deubiquitination function is able to maintain RYBP binding to chromatin for repressing primitive endoderm-associated genes. Overall, our study demonstrates that USP7 harbors both catalytic and non-catalytic activity to repress different lineage differentiation genes thereby revealing a previously unrecognized role in controlling gene expression for maintaining mESCs identity.

HDAC1/2 and CD4+ T cells

Project description:Dynamic changes in histone acetylation patterns are mediated by the activity of histone acetyltransfereases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) and are key events in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. The application of HDAC inhibitors revealed a variety of T cell functions controlled by reversible lysine acetylation and HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC7 and HDAC9 have been implicated in regulating T cell development and function. Nevertheless, unique functions of individual HDAC members in T cells and specific T cell functions that are regulated by HDACs are still only poorly understood. We previously showed that T cell-specific loss of HDAC1 (using the Cd4Cre deleter strain) leads to enhanced allergic airway inflammation and increased Th2 cytokine production. Interestingly, late T cell development was not impaired in these mice. However, HDAC2 was up-regulated in the absence of HDAC1, thus we hypothesized compensatory pathways/function between these two closely related class I HDAC family members in T cells. To investigate redundant and non-redundant functions of HDAC1 and HDAC2, we generated mice with a conditional T cell-specific (using Cd4Cre) combined loss of HDAC1 and HDAC2. As part of our study, we determined and compared the transcriptome of peripheral wild-type and HDAC1/2-null CD4+ T cells. Since loss of HDAC1/HDAC2 during late T cell development led to the appearance of MHC class II-selected CD4+ helper T cells that expressed CD8 lineage genes such as Cd8a and Cd8b1, we also analyzed the transcriptome of HDAC1/2-null CD4+CD8+ T cells.

Quantitative proteomic TandemMassTag analysis of intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) deleted for both Hdac1 and Hdac2

Project description:We have performed quantitative proteomic TandemMassTag to investigate proteomic changes after deletion of epigenetic eraser genes Hdac1 and Hdac2 in intestinal epithelial cells. Both HDAC1 and HDAC2 are epigenetic erasers that drive specific and redundant gene expression patterns, in part by removing acetyl groups on histones. Deletion of these Hdac in intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) in vivo alters intestinal homeostasis, dependent on the Hdac deleted and the level of expression of both. To determine the specific IEC function of HDAC1 and HDAC2, we have performed transcriptomic and quantitative proteomic approaches on IEC deficient in Hdac1 and Hdac2. We have defined changes in both mRNA and protein expression patterns affecting IEC differentiation. We have identified IEC Hdac1- and Hdac2-dependent common as well as specific pathways and biological processes. These findings uncover unrecognized similarities and differences between Hdac1 and Hdac2 in IEC.

Collateral lethality between HDAC1 and HDAC2 exploits cancer-specific NuRD complex vulnerabilities

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been widely pursued as targets for anti-cancer therapeutics. However, many of these targets are universally essential for cell survival, which may limit the therapeutic window that can be achieved by drug candidates. By examining large collections of CRISPR/Cas9-based essentiality screens, we discovered a genetic interaction between HDAC1 and HDAC2 wherein each paralog is synthetically lethal with hemizygous deletion of the other. This collateral synthetic lethality is caused by recurrent chromosomal translocations that occur in diverse solid and hematological malignancies, including neuroblastoma and multiple myeloma. Using genetic deletion or dTAG-mediated degradation, we show that HDAC2 disruption suppresses the growth of HDAC1-deficient neuroblastoma in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we find that targeted degradation of HDAC2 in these cells prompts the degradation of several members of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex, leading to diminished chromatin accessibility at HDAC2/NuRD-bound sites of the genome and impaired control of enhancer-associated transcription. Furthermore, we reveal that several of the degraded NuRD complex subunits are dependencies in neuroblastoma and multiple myeloma, providing motivation to develop paralog-selective HDAC1 or HDAC2 degraders. Altogether, we identify HDAC1/2 collateral synthetic lethality as a new therapeutic target and reveal a novel mechanism for exploiting NuRD-associated cancer dependencies.

ZFP462 safeguards neural lineage specification by targeting G9A/GLP mediated heterochromatin to silence enhancers [ChIP-seq]

Project description:ZNF462 haploinsufficiency is linked to Weiss–Kruszka syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by neurodevelopmental defects, including autism. Though conserved in vertebrates and essential for embryonic development, the molecular functions of ZNF462 remain unclear. We identified its murine homologue ZFP462 in a screen for mediators of epigenetic gene silencing. Here we show that ZFP462 safeguards neural lineage specification of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by targeting the H3K9-specific histone methyltransferase complex G9A/GLP to silence meso-endodermal genes. ZFP462 binds to transposable elements that are potential enhancers harbouring ESC-specific transcription factor binding sites. Recruiting G9A/GLP, ZFP462 seeds heterochromatin, restricting transcription factor binding. Loss of ZFP462 in ESCs results in increased chromatin accessibility at target sites and ectopic expression of meso-endodermal genes. Taken together, ZFP462 confers lineage and locus specificity to the broadly expressed epigenetic regulator G9A/GLP. Our results suggest that aberrant activation of lineage non-specific genes in the neuronal lineage underlies ZNF462-associated neurodevelopmental pathology.
